Risk and reward: The UK's cyber-crime tsar believes companies should hire able programmers before they use their skills elsewhere.
It seems with each passing month to another big name is added to the growing number of organisations that have been subject to major attacks.
Last month, it was revealed that hackers gained 'full functional control' to mission-critical systems at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, according to inspector-general Paul Martin in a report to Congress.
That followed BAE Systems admitting that computers used by engineers working on the F-35 fighter jet programme had previously been hacked, potentially compromising design and systems data.
It should come as no surprise then that engineering companies are vulnerable, both in terms of their intellectual property and their physical infrastructure (as the Stuxnet code that crippled Iran's nuclear centrifuges in 2010 attested).
The question is what to do about it. For a sector that is notoriously technical and opaque, the solution is quaintly organic: people. Lone hackers have proved they can get into systems with little in the way of resources. The industry must therefore make sure it recruits these people before they are tempted to use their skills in altogether more sinister outlets.
That is the basic rationale behind the Cyber Security Challenge (CSC) – an initiative with some powerful backers, including Lockheed Martin, Qinetiq, HP Labs, Northrop Grumman, Cassidian, GCHQ, PWC and the UK government.
The not-for-profit company is headed up by Judy Baker, who previously helped set up the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI), a government department advising on protection from electronic attack.
It all started in 2011 with a series of competitions open to any amateur cyber enthusiasts not currently working in the industry.
Students obviously feature heavily among the entrants, but the first overall winner, Dan Summers, was a working as a postman in Wakefield when he took part.
A number of top cyber-security professionals from some of the sponsor companies write the challenges, free of charge, as value-added time.
One of the competitions – dubbed 'Secure and Control' and designed by (ISC)2 and Qinetiq – asks candidates how to ensure the security of programmes that operate security cameras, open pipes, dams or even security gates.
learning opportunities through the private sector or university and little or nothing about jobs in cyber security or how to get one.
This contrasted with a survey by the SANS Institute, in which 90 per cent of companies said they couldn't staff to the level of cyber skills they wanted and 60 per cent said they were going to need more people in cyber security jobs over the next five years.
Clearly there are parallels with traditional engineering in terms of skills gaps and the quality of graduates, but there are also wider issues about public perceptions.
Speaking to candidates at the some of the award ceremonies, what appealed most to them about cyber security was the creative aspect.
While the impression of cyber security might simply be geeks number crunching and trying to crack passwords, most solutions actually require completely innovative thinking.
It's not just about computer code but appreciating that systems have many different levels of vulnerability, both technological and human, and that a holistic approach is often the best way to secure them.
In terms of cyber security for companies and individuals, Baker also believes that manufacturers have a lot of catching up to do.
'You don't buy the car with a seatbelt in a bag and the bumper in another bag and be expected to fit them technically accurately – it's a bit like that still in the wild west of the computer world,' she said.
Baker also has a rather bullish attitude about what she see as the flawed and disjointed philosophies of so-called 'hacktivist' groups who target corporations and institutions in the name of anti-corruption and anti-secrecy.
'We're all delighted by the Arab Spring and we want freedom and freedom of choice, but we don't necessarily want to understand that actually real freedom is underpinned by security,' she said.
Late 2000-February 2007 National Infrastructure Security Coordination Centre (NISCC). Established NISCC as a new government department advising on protection from electronic attack. During that time, NISCC grew from three to 70 staff.
Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI). One of the small senior management team that created CPNI to provide holistic protective secure advice. Took responsibility for strategy and policy. The National Infrastructure Security Coordination Centre (NISCC) merged into CPNI.
Do you think that businesses in the UK still underestimate the importance of cyber security, particularly engineering companies and manufacturers dealing in the physical world?
Physical processes that in the past were controlled directly by people and levers are now controlled by process control systems such as SCADA and are interconnected to business networks. This has meant that engineering and manufacturing companies have had to master cyber in addition to physical and personnel security issues in new, as well as traditional, parts of their businesses.
The protection of services from disruption may also be vital, not only to the company's business but to the nation. In many cases, the services are part of the UK's Critical National Infrastructure. And of course the research and other intellectual property that these companies often own has substantial valueand is commonly sought by attackers from criminal and other threat groups.
Clearly, the importance of cyber security has grown and companies are working hard to manage all these new issues. To do this effectively, they need to have the right talented people in place.
What makes a perfect cyber security candidate?
While the traditional view of what makes a cyber security person – a flair and passion for technology – is still much in demand, there is a need for many other skills as well and not everyone will be deeply technical. We need people who work well in teams, are leaders, understand business impact and can communicate technical messages so that hard-to-reach audiences 'get it' and see why it matters. What the most successful seem to have in common is a need to solve problems, an ability to think outside ofthe box and flexibility to deal with the rapid rate of change.
Why would you encourage someone to get into the cyber security industry?
Existing professionals told us in a SANS Institute survey that the jobs are well paid, very enjoyable and important. Top that with the fact that it is under-resourced and part of a sector where the number of jobs is growing. If you are good enough, why wouldn't you aspire to a job like that? This is one of the most exciting professions. Importantly, there is a huge variety of roles you can take up, from technical to far more strategic and business focused, and the opportunities to move around or specialise in one particular area are there for you to take. In difficult times, especially for young people and graduates, where unemployment figures are so high, this is an industry crying out for more talented people.

Fragility of land tenure and property rights has both caused and exacerbated displacement in Colombia. In response, the government has established a legal framework to address the problem and, ultimately, to prevent further displacement. The rebuilding of community relationships and institutional trust are central to the success of this approach.
Colombia's history of land dispossession and displacement is rooted in various causes and has resulted in one of the largest displaced populations in the world. First, landowners' rights have been weakened by the sale of land whereby peasants and rural communities are put under duress – by force, misconduct or misinformation – to sell property titles and vacate their land. Land sales conducted in this manner rarely correspond to real market value. A second, recurrent form of land dispossession has been the abandonment of land by landowners as a result of conflict and its subsequent occupation. A third form of land dispossession has arisen through illegal forced transfers of property titles, with individuals using their government positions, and acting in complicity with local non-state armed forces, to subvert the protection offered by local government bodies. Some of these corrupt transfers have occurred through judicial or procedural fraud.[1]
The effects of land grabbing, occupation and forced displacement have been significant. The Colombian National Planning Department estimates that forced displacement has affected 700,000 households (more than three million people). More than 3,200,000 hectares – 5% of Colombia's agricultural land – have been taken by land grabbing or abandonment by persons forced out of the area.[2]
Government measures to prevent dispossession and displacement
The Colombian government has developed a set of policies to facilitate land restitution and strengthen landowners' rights, and thereby to prevent further displacement and enable the return of those who have been forced to leave their homes. Since 2003, the government has implemented the Land Protection and Displaced Population Legacy Project, aimed at helping to diminish the risk of impoverishment of displaced populations.[3] The Project has worked in 21 regions of Colombia to guarantee the full exercise of property rights, establishing asset protection measures. It has also promoted the formalisation of land rights, including the formal recognition of rights for indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities, and has implemented management processes for land restitution, both in situations of dispossession of land and where people have been forced by violence to abandon their land. The Project has supported land-titling processes in nine regions of the country, producing over one thousand titles giving formal rights to occupant farmers, some of whom had already been displaced while others were at a high risk of displacement.
The current government, under President Santos, has included a land restitution policy in its 2010-14 National Development Plan. This policy reasserts the rights of displaced populations, focuses on access to justice for those who have lost their property due to armed violence, and lays the groundwork for addressing other issues of human rights violations and transitional justice.
Under Colombia's Victims and Land Restitution Law 1448 of 2011, land restitution has been integral to the strategy to proactively prevent mass forced displacement. The Santos government hopes to settle 160,000 claims for restitution in the period of 2011-14 by: 1) promoting landowner rights and resolving land disputes; 2) discouraging land grabbing and occupation in Colombian rural society; and 3) providing a mechanism of redress for persons forcibly displaced and dispossessed of their land. Some of the steps taken to achieve this include:
no longer placing the burden of proving previous ownership on the dispossessed person but placing the burden of proof instead on the new 'owner'
establishing a registry to investigate and declare which land was dispossessed and abandoned as a result of force
introducing a new two-part procedure to provide restitution of dispossessed land, consisting of a special administrative unit dedicated to land restitution and a judicial body comprising specialists in land issues
establishing a compensation programme, providing in-kind restitution of land when applicable and monetary compensation when land is not directly available (drawing on a fund also established by this law)
gradually and progressively implementing the law's programmes, with each of 364 municipalities prioritised according to the extent of land dispossession.
Various donors including USAID, the UN and agencies such as IOM have been involved in supporting the implementation of the land restitution policy by providing technical and financial support; IOM has structured pilot projects and helped strengthen capacity within those institutions implementing the Policy.
Ultimately, the Victims and Land Restitution Law provides a judicial framework for stabilising land ownership and preventing further displacement. Beyond the obvious benefits of identifying and assisting where land dispossession has occurred and providing the basis for restitution, these programmes have reinvigorated a sense of community trust and sent out – across the country – the message that the government will not tolerate displacement caused by land dispossession and occupation. Implemented through a community-based approach, these programmes have gone beyond administrative and judicial assistance to cultural healing.
The Law was the result of a national consensus among various stakeholders such as the government, Congress, political parties, human rights organisations and victims' organisations. It promotes a model that aims to break the cycle of victimisation and start a process of empowerment instead. The solutions envisioned under the law include promoting the active participation of victims in the design and implementation of the law, accompanying and assisting victims in establishing livelihoods, and supporting victim networks and initiatives. According to the law, respect for the dignity of the victims, their aspirations and stories should prevail in the process of participation – which in turn contributes to empowerment and confidence building. While the process is still unfolding, the willingness to allow wide and equal participation of community members is a good platform for re-building community trust. Reconciliation among community members and public faith in the process will require continued engagement of all stakeholders.
A significant challenge for the implementation of this project is the sheer volume of claims. As of November 2012, the government has witnessed more than 25,000 claims for a total of over two million hectares of land. There is little doubt that this process will require a significant amount of dedicated resources over a long period of time. Nevertheless, progress is slowly visible. In the community of Manpujan, for example, people are beginning to feel empowered to act on their claims of ownership and are contesting more than 2,000 prior judicial decisions against their land ownership claims; this has led so far to the restitution of fourteen properties. These outcomes are small but significant victories for people dispossessed of their land.

This article is about the town. For the census-designated place, see Walpole (CDP), Massachusetts.
After the territory was bought from Dedham, the saw mill industry began to rise in the area. The first saw mill in Walpole was built near what is now School Meadow Brook and the Neponset River. It was located in the area that is now the Walpole Town Forest. The mill was built and later owned by Joshua Fisher and Major Eleazer Lusher, two wealthy men of Dedham.
Walpole soon wanted to sever its ties with Dedham, so its residents began to petition at Dedham town meetings to become a completely separate town. The request was granted by the town of Dedham in 1724, and the town was officially named Walpole, after Sir Robert Walpole.
After its incorporation, Walpole had a role in the events leading up to the American Revolutionary War. The citizens agreed that the taxes imposed by the British government were unfair. They sent a representative, Joshua Clapp, to the state meetings at Faneuil Hall in Boston. These meetings were to discuss how Massachusetts was going to keep its residents safe and peaceful during the events of the American Revolutionary War. In 1775, Walpole sent 157 men to the Battle of Lexington and Concord. These men were led by Captain Seth Bullard. In December 1777, a British fleet of ships came into Narragansett Bay and anchored in Newport Harbor in Rhode Island. Walpole sent two groups of minutemen, consisting of 65 men in total, to help with the situation. These men were led by Joshua Clapp, and Oliver Clapp. They stayed in Rhode Island to defend the port for three weeks.
Walpole began to grow after the Revolutionary War. By 1860, the town had 1,935 residents. Starting around this time, several mills began to be built, largely on the Neponset River in order to harness the power of falls. Over the years, these mills grew and mainly manufactured products such as cotton, lumber, and paper in its many mills. The most notable of these was the Bird Company, which comprised a large complex on the river in East Walpole. After the company ceased operations at the site in 1980, most of the buildings were razed over the years; a housing development now occupies a large portion of the old mill site and only a few remnants of the area's former use are still evident. The Neponset River was also used for transport between the close towns of Sharon, Foxborough and Medfield. It was also used as a water supply and for water power. The Norfolk County railroad also connected the town. It was also part of a railroad network that connected Walpole to Boston and New York City. Many churches were formed in Walpole at this time, including Trinitarian, Unitarian and Methodist ones: Union Congregational Church est. 1877, etc.
Walpole's first public library was founded in 1872. It was founded by Walpole resident Miss Mary R. Bird. The first library in Walpole was actually founded in 1816 by a group known as "The Ladies' Literary, Moral Society." It was not public, and was built to provide books to Walpole that may, in the words of the society, "afford useful information to the mind and improvement to the heart."
In 1929, Harriet Nevins donated $50,000 for the erection of a public building as a memorial for her parents George Blackburn and Nancy H. Blackburn. Her father, a merchant from Bradford, England, had once lived and done business in Walpole. Blackburn Memorial Building (more commonly known as "Blackburn Hall") was designed by the architectural firm of Putnam & Cox Company of Boston, built by the F.J. Tetreault Company of Walpole, and dedicated in 1932. The red brick building, which features a neo-classical façade with whitewashed pillars, is still owned by the Town of Walpole and is used for a variety of activities throughout the year including children's theater production. To the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts, Harriet Nevins also left $2500 to fund the construction of a fountain for horses and dogs. The fountain is now dry yet still stands on School Street in Walpole opposite the Town Hall.
At the census of 2010, there were 24,070 people, 8,060 households, and 5,972 families residing in the town. The population density was 429.0/km² (1077.3/sq mi). There were 8,229 housing units at an average density of 400.7 per square mile (154.7/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 95.41% White, 1.59% Black or African American, 0.11% Native American, 1.13% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 1.12% from other races, and 0.64% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.02% of the population. The Census of 2010 shows very little variance in these figures. Only the Asian population has seen somewhat of a change.
There were 8730 households out of which 35.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 63.2% were married couples living together, 8.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 25.9% were non-families. 22.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 11.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.72 and the average family size was 3.23.
In the town, the population was spread out with 25.8% under the age of 18, 5.2% from 18 to 24, 30.6% from 25 to 44, 23.9% from 45 to 64, and 14.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females, there were 100.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.5 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $74,757, and the median income for a family was $84,458. Males had a median income of $54,243 versus $39,516 for females. The per capita income for the town was $32,117. About 1.5% of families and 2.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.8% of those under age 18 and 4.7% of those age 65 or over.
Under the Köppen climate classification, Walpole has a humid continental climate (Dfa/Dfb), which is the predominant climate for Massachusetts and New England. Walpole's inland location causes it to experience cooler winter temperatures than many coastal locations in New England. Summers are typically hot and humid, while winters are cold, windy and often snowy.
Walpole's warmest month is July, with an average high temperature of 82.8 °F (28.2 °C) and an average low of 61.6 °F (16.4 °C). The coldest month is January, with an average high temperature of 36.0 °F (2.2 °C) and an average low of 17.7 °F (−7.9 °C).
Much like the rest of the Northeastern seaboard, Walpole receives ample amounts of precipitation year-round. On average, summer months receive slightly less precipitation than winter months. Walpole averages about 46 in (116.8 cm) of rainfall a year. Walpole, like other Massachusetts towns, is very vulnerable to Nor'easter weather systems. The town is sometimes vulnerable to Atlantic hurricanes and tropical storms, which infrequently threaten the New England region during the early autumn months.
Walpole High School, which is one of two public high schools in Walpole.
Walpole's school system, the Walpole Public Schools, is run by a school committee made up of seven members. The committee appoints a superintendent, who then appoints individual principals in each of Walpole's public schools. The current school superintendent is Lincoln Lynch, III. Walpole has seven public schools, which include four elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school.
The four elementary schools in Walpole include Old Post Road School, Elm Street School, Boyden School, and Fisher School. Old Post Road school is located in East Walpole. It has about 500 students attending and serves students in from kindergarten through grade five. Currently, there are three modular classrooms for the fourth grade to accommodate the growing student population. Fisher School was the first to be established, on North Street, in 1790. It was a one-room schoolhouse until 1914, when a modern building was built on Main Street. In 2007, the school was attended by about 470 students. Boyden Elementary School was founded in 1854 by Jeremiah Boyden. It was first named South Primary School until 1902, when the town decided to name it after Boyden. It was closed between 1981 and 1988 and was used as a school for troubled boys. It reopened in 1990 and currently[when?] has about 460 students and 50 teachers. Elm Street school is Walpole's newest school, which was opened in 1999, and renovated in 2004. It has about 520 students.
Middle schools in Walpole include Johnson Middle School and Bird Middle School.
The Blessed Sacrament is a private Catholic School in Walpole.
The town is also home to the Norfolk County Agricultural High School and the Longview Farm School.
Walpole, like most New England towns, has a board of selectmen.
In exchange for tax revenue, the town provides its residents with public schooling, recreation, police and fire protection, and other general municipal services. For separate quarterly payments, the town provides water and sewer services.
Laws are enforced by the Walpole Police Department. In 2005, no murders were committed in Walpole. Despite having no homicides, nonviolent crime in the town rose in 2005 compared to 2004. In 2005, there were 58 violent crimes per 100,000 people, a drop from 89 in 2004. There were 13 total violent crimes committed in Walpole in 2005. Eight of these were aggravated assault, one was a robbery, and four were forcible rapes. There were 1,216 non-violent crimes in Walpole per 100,000 people in 2005, which was a rise from 1,158 in 2004. There were 223 thefts, 27 burglaries, 23 motor vehicle thefts, and one arson.
It is only partially accurate to say that Walpole is the location of Massachusetts Correctional Institution – Cedar Junction, a maximum security prison for males that was originally named "MCI — Walpole" until town residents successfully lobbied in the mid-1980s for the change. In reality, only part of the facility actually lies in Walpole. The southwest part of it lies in the neighboring town of Norfolk, but as Norfolk already has a prison (MCI Norfolk), Cedar Junction was originally known as MCI Walpole.
Francis William Bird Park, located in East Walpole.
Walpole has many parks and athletic fields, which are mostly active during the spring and summer months due to the cold winter climate of Walpole and the surrounding area. Francis William Bird Park is located in Walpole. It is an 89-acre (360,000 m2) landscaped park, owned and maintained by The Trustees of Reservations. Over three miles (5 km) of walking and biking paths wind through the park, traversing streams across old granite bridges and passing through rolling, grassy meadows punctuated with mature shade trees, tree groves, and ponds.
Facilities at the park include bike racks, benches, trash receptacles, public restroom (open seasonally), a "tot lot" with children's play equipment, four tennis courts, a basketball backboard, and an outdoor stage.
"...a sequestered breathing place in the heart of East Walpole...a combination of broad, sun-swept meadow lands, speckled with shadowed glades, higher tree-screened knolls for the lover of shade, the whole set to the music of a babbling stream."
For most of its history, the park was owned and maintained by the Francis William Park Trust. By the later decades of the 20th century, parts of the park suffered badly from vandalism and neglect. The Trustees of Reservations gained possession of this property in 2002. Today the park is in excellent condition and several young ornamental trees such as Cherry and Japanese Maple have been added to the landscape, as have flower beds.

The Walpole Express is a junior, midget, youth, and girls hockey organization based in Walpole, Massachusetts.
From the 60s until the 90s, Walpole embraced the "Rebel" identity by associating themselves with the Confederate States of America, and specifically the Confederate flag. For many years, up until 1994, the song "Dixie" was commonly sung at football games, and even incorporated into the cheerleaders' cheers. During the height of the Confederate identity, the football coach, Coach Lee, was known as General Lee, and, in 1971, the face of the school yearbook was decorated with the confederate flag. Since 1994, the school has condemned the confederate identity. For many years, a metal Confederate flag, placed on the property of Joseph Finneran, overlooked the Walpole High School Football field. After the death of Mr. Finneran and his wife in 2015, family members removed the flag.
The Confederate flag is still a divisive issue in Walpole with a majority of townspeople still supporting its use.

San Francisco sophomore guard Avry Holmes to transfer
By Raphielle JohnsonApr 24, 2014, 5:56 PM EDT
When starting point guard Cody Doolin left the San Francisco program after playing in just four games, there were questions as to what the Dons would do to account for his departure. One played who stepped up was sophomore Avry Holmes, who averaged 12.5 points and 3.1 assists per game and helped San Francisco win 21 games and finish tied for second place in the West Coast Conference.
With that season under his belt it was natural to wonder what Holmes would be able to do as a junior for Rex Walters, but according to Steve Kroner of the San Francisco Chronicle we won't be finding out.
Holmes has decided to transfer, and Walters had an interesting comment in Kroner's story on the matter.
Walters said Holmes, a Salem, Ore., native who just finished his sophomore season, "wants to try to go to a so-called high-major conference. … I don't begrudge for it. Obviously, we'd love to have him."
Holmes' decision to leave the program means that the Dons will have to account for the loss of their top two scorers from last season, with graduating forward Cole Dickerson being the team's leading scorer and rebounder. But that doesn't mean San Francisco will have a bare cupboard, either.
Forwards Kruize Pinkins (12.2 ppg, 6.5 rpg) and Mark Tollefson (10.5, 3.9) will be back, as will guards Tim Derksen and Matt Glover. And while Holmes' play was a key factor for San Francisco in the aftermath of Doolin's departure, it should be noted that it was Glover who led the team in assists per game (3.3).
San Francisco also adds a four-member recruiting class, and SMU transfer forward Uche Ofoegbu will be eligible after having to sit out the 2013-14 season per NCAA transfer rules.


My Assembly doesn't work, When i move the part, the cilinder doesn't go with it. I tried alot, but when i insert the next mate i get lots of errors.
Anyone can help me find a sollution?
It may be difficult to help you without more information. You mentioned a cylinder, so it's possible that this is a sub-assembly that became rigid when inserted into a larger assembly. If that's the case, see #1 here: Frequently Asked Forum Questions .
Please reply back to let us know if that fixed the problem.
Thanks for the reactions, I hope to give you more information about my problem. And i hope that you understand my English haha.
In the begin i used a lot of sub-assembly and make it flexible(in options).
But when i get the problems i used the parts in sub-assembly that don't have influence for the movement of my cylinder. In the "large" assembly i import all the parts that have influence in the movement. So i won't have any problem with sub-assembly.
The problem is that there are 4 different movements in 1 move. ( i hope you understand).
But that's why i come here at the forum's.. so maybe you guys can give me a explanation why i get those error's.
Without having the files it will be difficult to diagnose the problem. I'd suggest you suppress all other mates involving these parts, then un-suppress them one at a time until you get the error. That may help you figure out what's wrong.
Another idea: check external references.

Mostly I am receiving 5 points for each poll after acceptance from your side. On 6th June's Poll created by me for one poll I have received points 2 only (All family members should go out together once in a month). What is the reason?
We will give maximum points on the basis of quality and uniqueness of poll. Specially polls asking about Maharashtra, Marathi, Study, etc got maximum points. The poll "All family members should go out together once in a month" is nice but not speaking about where, when or location so it considered as general.
Other point to promote new members some time we give maximum points. Now you are a Gold and senior member of Maharashtra Spider and we expecting quality of content from you. This is very important for you because only quality content indexed top rank in search engines. To earn maximum possible Google AdSense revenue share you have to keep attention about that.
Polls are best way to earn some point but they are not much important in fetching traffic. Hence try to write more articles in resources section about Marathi festival, Actors, Movies, Famous personality, etc. Now onwards points are not more important for you, We will keep attention about that. You have to write more articles to earn more. Sure when you reach at 100 resources contribution your revenue share increase well.
Thanks I will try my best.
The same happens with me many times, only few members good points and rewards. Initially editors and webmaster entertain us, but after raising query them just ignores our queries. I experienced this many times. You can go through my recent post, you will get clear about.
most of the time i am getting 5 points and now only 2 points.
and the limit for posting polls is also less only 7 in the weak.
I agree and am satisfied with Vilas sir's reply. We must try our best to give qualitative writings in various sections.
Can somebody guide me how to initiate poll?
You can create poll for knowing the views of group of people. Here in Maharashtra Spider we initiate polls which are asking about Maharashtra State and people on various aspects. To get maximum results from your poll you can share on social network sites like Facebook and twitter with your friends, ask them to vote your poll.


2018 Nissan Versa Trim Levels with Comparisons & Configurations.
What 2018 Nissan Versa Trim Level Should you Buy? What is the Difference Between the Trims?
Among the least expensive vehicles currently available in the subcompact class, the Nissan Versa, in both its standard sedan and the Note hatchback versions, is entirely oriented at buyers focused on value. For that reason alone, it is by far the most popular subcompact vehicle currently sold in America. It also offers a fairly spacious cabin that can fairly comfortably accommodate adults in both front and back seats - a rarity in the subcompact class - as well as a large trunk.
While the most expensive of the Versa models does not cross the $20,000 mark in its price, choosing the right one from its variety of trim levels is an important consideration, as some of the most basic models can lack some of the key features that are considered by many buyers as key requirements. Conversely, the higher-end models may contain some features that may be unnecessary to some, reducing the excellent value that this car offers.
This guide is designed to make shopping for a new Nissan Versa easier by breaking down all of the different trim levels available and explain the key features that each one offers. With this information in hand, selecting the perfect Nissan Versa becomes a much easier task.
Compare the 2018 Versa S vs S Plus Trims. What is the difference?
The base model for both the sedan and the hatchback model of the Nissan Versa is the relatively simple Versa S. As the least-expensive of the Versas, it is also the least-equipped, though drivers will find a number of the basics covered. Air conditioning is a standard feature, as is the cloth interior, 15-inch steel wheels, and a four-speaker audio system with a CD player, an auxiliary input, and Bluetooth.
Besides those, however, the Versa S is pretty basic. Locks and windows are manually controlled, and there are no LCD screens or cruise control on the model. The sedan model of the Versa S comes equipped exclusively with a manual transmission, while the more expensive Versa Note hatchback includes an automatic transmission.
Neither model comes with any notable packages or upgrade options, though a number of usual accessories like splash guards and alloy wheels are available on both models. The hatchbacks can also be equipped with a spoiler and a Rockford Fosgate speaker system.
The S Plus is a sedan-only trim level for the Versa, and its main upgrade is the continuously variable automatic transmission, which is the same as the one on the hatchback S model. The S Plus sedans also come with a rear spoiler and cruise control. Otherwise, they are identical to the regular S model in features.
The Versa S sedan is incredibly cheap for what it is, even if it only comes with a manual transmission. For drivers after really inexpensive transportation, there are few choices that can come close to the same value.
However, for drivers who are not on a very tight budget, the S Plus sedan is likely to be the better choice than the regular S sedan, as the automatic transmission comes with some mileage improvements and the cruise control makes highway driving so much easier. On the Versa Note, the S Plus model is not available, likely because its main feature - the automatic transmission - is already included on the hatchback models.
For cruise control, hatchback buyers have to upgrade to the higher SV model, which comes with a number of other upgrades over the base S hatchback as well. It should be noted that while the S hatchback offers more features than the S sedan, it is also significantly more expensive than the S sedan and slightly pricier than the better-equipped S Plus sedan.
In general, unless the hatchback is the preferred body style, the sedan version of the Versa comes with a better value relative to its features.
Compare the 2018 Nissan Versa S and S Plus vs SV Trim Levels. What is the difference?
The SV is the midrange model of the Versa lineup and, just like the base S, available in both sedan and hatchback configurations. Both models get a slightly nicer cloth upholstery and power features, including keyless entry and power locks and windows. A trip computer and a USB port are also added in both configurations.
In addition to that, the hatchback SV model also gets an upgraded audio system with a 5-inch screen, albeit with no touch capacity, a rearview camera, satellite radio, Bluetooth audio streaming and Siri Eyes Free functionality. The hatchback also adds cruise control over its S model, as there is no S Plus hatchback version of the Versa.
While this model of the Versa may not have the same impressive value that the entry-level Versas do, it has many more of the features that modern buyers consider necessary on their cars. The power doors and windows, as well as keyless entry, are practically industry standards these days, as is USB connectivity. The hatchback version of the SV takes these principles even further by adding an LCD screen for its infotainment and adding a rearview camera. However, as with the S model, it is also significantly more expensive than an otherwise-similar sedan.
Compare the Versa SV vs SV Special Edition Trims. What is the difference?
The SV Special Edition is the highest sedan trim level for the Nissan Versa, now that Nissan has gotten rid of the previous top-end SL trim level. The Special Edition sedan comes with many of the upgrades that were included on the hatchback version of the SV but not the sedan one. That includes the rearview camera, the 5-inch display screen, and the upgraded audio system with Bluetooth audio streaming and satellite radio. It also comes with aluminium wheels, fog lights, and a number of exterior chrome accents. Inside, it also gets a few upscale touches like a leather-trimmed steering wheel.
For most buyers who have already decided on getting at least the SV sedan version of the Versa, the Special Edition is an easy high-value upgrade. At just a $500 premium over the regular SV sedan, it adds a significant amount of useful equipment such as a rearview camera, as well as a more modern infotainment system. It also looks a lot less like the budget model that the Nissan Versa is, which adds a bit of visual appeal to the trim level. As far as the more expensive trim levels of the Versa are concerned, this one offers a fairly solid value.
Compare the Versa SV vs SR Trim Levels. What is the difference?
The SR is the highest trim level available for the Versa Note hatchback. It is a sportier and more premium version of the SV hatchback, and it includes aluminium wheels, special side sills and spoilers. It also includes a few appearance features from the sedan-exclusive SV Special Edition like front fog lights and a leather-covered steering wheel. It also has integrated turn signals on the outside mirrors, and an exclusive upholstery made from synthetic suede and accented with orange stripes and stitching. Like all other Nissan Versa models, there are no optional packages for the SR Versa Note.
Unlike the premium sedan model SV Special Edition, the SR brings little in terms of comfort and convenience equipment and is more concerned with creating the illusion of a performance hatchback variant. The SR comes with the same engine and transmission as the rest of the Versa lineup, which is nothing to write home about. Similarly, the suede interior does not feel like much of an improvement over the upgraded cloth upholstery of the SV. For all buyers aside from the ones that find the unusual styling and color scheme of the SR attractive, the SV makes an overall better choice and a better value than the SR.
The 2018 Nissan Versa is very clearly a budget vehicle, a direction that Nissan confirmed when they cut the premium model of the Versa out of the lineup. As such, the lower-cost models offer the best return on investment among the Versa lineup.
For buyers looking for a bargain, the S and the S Plus models offer a great back-to-basics driving experience at a price that is thousands of dollars less than most competitors. The SV is a more well-rounded modern car, albeit without the fancy touchscreens or advanced safety features that are popular today.
The high-end models are less attractive due to approaching their better-equipped competitors in price, but can still be a good choice in the case of the SV Special Edition on the sedan. Almost everyone will probably want to pass on the strangely outfitted Versa SR hatchback however.

The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet
(Redirected from Romeus and Juliet)
The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet is a narrative poem, first published in 1562 by Arthur Brooke, who is reported to have translated it from an Italian poem by Bandello. Romeus and Juliet was the key source for William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Little is known about Arthur Brooke, except that he drowned in 1563 by shipwreck while crossing to help Protestant forces in France.
Some adherents to the theory that Shakespeare's plays were really written by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford consider this poem to be a youthful composition by de Vere, later expanded and revised for the stage (See: Chronology of Shakespeare's Plays - Oxfordian). Ponderous amounts of source study and comparisons can be found in the introduction in the edition listed below.

MK Dons lost ground on the automatic promotion spots in League 2 as Paul Tisdale was beaten 3-1 on his first return to Exeter.
Tisdale returned to Devon for the first time after a 12-year stint in charge of the Grecians, and hoping to see his side build on their midweek win over Oldham.
But two goals from Nicky Law – one courtesy of an MK Dons defensive error – and a further strike by Jake Taylor gave the home side a victory that takes them into the top place.
MK Dons had got back into the contest when Joe Walsh made it 2-1 and came close to equalise before Law's second ended the contest.
The result means MK Dons remain 6th on an afternoon that saw the two sides above them fail to play due to the weather, and three points for the side from Devon means they are now level on points with the Dons in the top 6.
Exeter took the lead in the game's early stages, when Law was picked out by Jonathan Forte's acrobatic cross and turned the ball over the line.
A fine early chance for the Dons saw David Wheeler headed over Dean Lewington's cross, but the Dons would then concede a second ten minutes after shipping the opener.
The home side would get number two when home skipper Taylor intercepted a bad clearance on the edge of the box and rifled his low strike into the bottom corner.
Exeter then saw Law come close to grabbing a third first half goal for the home team, when Nicholls made a firm save to keep Law out.
MK Dons would then grab a goal back within three minutes of the restart, as Walsh got a free header on Ryan Watson's corner to put the visitors back within one.
The Dons would then have chances for an equaliser when Chuks Aneke was denied by Christy Pym and Wheeler headed over.
However, Exeter then re-took the initiative and would re-establish a two goal lead in the final 20 minutes in farcical circumstances, as Walsh and Nicholls got in each others way when greeted with a long ball down the home side's right flank, and Law simply rolled the ball in.
Law would be denied a hat-trick late on, but by then the damage was done as MK Dons sunk to their 4th defeat of 2019.

Ever since Rosie Assoulin debuted on the fashion stage three years ago, she's been stretching the boundaries of expectation, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that her latest capsule collection makes use of one very stretchy material: rubber. Jewel-y McHue-y, Assoulin's collaboration for Atelier Swarovski, is made up of 12 unique pieces of jewelry featuring sparkling Swarovski crystals in reimagined (rubber) Georgian settings. The autumn/winter 2016 collection's colors span an understated, moody rainbow—from dark moss green and silvershade to denim blue and light Colorado topaz.
Assoulin—whose dramatic sculptural designs require couture-friendly doorways—is one of fashion's boldest new talents, rejecting minimalist trends for vast ruffles, cutouts and flares. Every piece is a statement piece, and her jewelry line demands no less attention. If you thought you'd only find rubber burning on the highway, get ready to find it on the runway.

I will need to get my act together with this blog as my eminent ex-colleagues are beginning to link to it. As you may or may not know, this blog is running Scott Watermasysk's dottext (.Text) blogging software on the european webmatrix hosting site.
I have a few tweaks to finalise the installation as I would like it, and have to get the email sending working with the hosting arrangement and we will be "cooking on gas" as the term hereabouts goes.

So we released Verses 1.2 a week or so ago and are getting reviews about the update saying it's crashing on launch for existing users of 1.1, we however have not received any crash reports from apple which get reported when you sync your iphone/ipad/ipod so if you're having issues make sure you're syncing so we can get the fix to you ASAP. Another thing to try is deleting the app and re-downloading it from the app store. That being said the new version is really big improvement (if you can get it running ;) ) and is well worth the dowload and it's free as always!

Putting Policy Over Politics: A Conversation with Ambassador Susan Rice
As the US midterm elections play out in early November, politics are everywhere, but national security policy should be distinguishable from politics, according to Dr. Susan Rice, the National Security Advisor to President Obama and US Ambassador to the United Nations. It is well documented that Americans are ever more divided: along party, ideological, socio-economic and cultural lines; by geographic, demographic, racial and religious differences. Indeed, Rice suggests that the most significant, long-term threat to our security may be our domestic political polarization. How can our national security interests be separated from the politics of the day? What are the most important national security policy objectives today and how can they be achieved?

\section{Introduction}
\label{introduction}

\IEEEPARstart{W}{ith} the increasing prevalence of the signal processing applications in the medical science, the need for sophisticated automated processing tools is more perceived. One group of these applications deals with different imaging systems (e.g. MRI, CT, X-ray etc.), where one can derive useful information by studying big and diverse datasets of images taken from different patients in different stages of a disease. However, this diversity and plurality of data is helpful only if a proper and accurate automated tool is designed to process them.

Longitudinal study and disease tracking using medical imaging is one of the most important and effective processes during the medical treatment. Generally speaking, this procedure usually requires images regularly taken from patients' organ(s) involving in disease evolution. The information in these images hopefully guides to make better estimations regarding the future state of the organs and observe the impact of different drugs in different situations. For instance, one might be interested to discover the impact of a specific dosage of an anti-cancer drug on the size of the tumor through the time. Therefore, the question is how to benefit from the latent information in the temporally diverse set of medical images taken from different patients.

Statistical modeling and prediction is a practical and effective solution to address the above problem. The main idea is to exploit the repetitive behavior of the organ/tumors in response to a new condition (e.g. drug injection, aging etc.) and derive an accurate pattern. Like other similar machine learning and statistical modeling problems, this task requires a diverse image dataset with a reasonable size taken in different conditions. However, it has always been costly and more importantly dangerous to take excessive images from individual patients to specifically model their disease. The most feasible solution to this problem is to combine image datasets from different patients with the same disease condition and produce a rather general model. However, this simplification would compromise accuracy of the model due to the patient-specific behaviors of the treatments.

In this paper, we review the use of a statistical technique called mixed-effect modeling, to take into account patient-specific behaviors. As will be discussed, this technique helps the modeling process improve the accuracy in the longitudinal organ/tumor tracking. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In section \ref{sec:framework}, the general framework of a prediction system is described in detail. In section \ref{sec:examples}, two example research projects with different prediction systems for tracking two different medical phenomenons have been studied. Finally, section \ref{sec:conclusion} concludes the paper with some discussions about the topic.

\section{General framework of a prediction system using mixed effect model}
\label{sec:framework}
In this section, we first explain principles of the mixed-effect modeling and its necessity in the modeling of a complex medical treatment process. Then, the main elements of a prediction system based on the mixed-effect modeling and their different choices are discussed.

\subsection{Principles of the mixed-effect modeling}
Basically, mixed-effect modeling or mixed modeling is a flexible statistical technique to exploit regularity in the pattern of a phenomenon which consists of both \textit{fixed} and \textit{random} effects. Herein, the term \textit{effect} refers to a system parameter that somehow impact the prediction value. This impact can be either non-random (i.e. fixed effects) or random (i.e. random effect) \cite{lindstrom1988newton} [cite mixed effect.pdf]. In matrix notation, a mixed-effect model can be represented as eq. \ref{eq:mixedmodelnotation}:

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:mixedmodelnotation}
y=f(\beta)+g(\gamma)+\varepsilon,
\end{equation}
where $f(\beta)$ and $g(\gamma)$ are fixed and random effects of the model and $\varepsilon$ is the prediction error.

\subsection{Key elements of a mixed effect modeling system}
By taking a look at the longitudinal studies with medical image processing, one can spot a few common essential elements. Here we briefly describe these elements \cite{ribba2014review}.
\subsubsection{Tracked features}
Depending on the disease under study, the tracked feature can be different. In the problems dealing with different types of cancers, the objective is to observe and model the growth in the size of tumor. ``Sum of longest diameters'' and ``Mean tumor diameter'' are two size-related features that can fairly represent the status of the tumor and also can be helpful in tracking it. According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) \cite{tsuchida2001response}, these features are allowed to be measured and tracked for on a limited set of organs associated with lesions.

However in other problems than the tomography, one might aim at monitoring more complicated features of the organ e.g. shape, displacement etc. For this purpose, some of the researches directly deal with pixels/voxels of the medical images taken from patients. In the simplest scenario, one might use each pixel/voxel of the image as one independent feature to track. More advanced approaches apply so-called feature reduction techniques such as Principle Component Analysis (PCA) to shrink the feature space \cite{rios2017population}.

There are also some other features that are used for tracking an organ's status through the time. For instance, in a research for studying the tumor growth rate, the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) was tracked in order to monitor the prostate cancer status \cite{stein2010tumor}.

\subsubsection{Mixed-effect modelisation}
In the design of a mixed-effect model, there are different choices to make. One important choice is the mathematical expression used in modelisation. There are mainly two types of mixed-effect models in the literature:
\begin{itemize}
\item Algebraic equations with the general form of:
\begin{equation}
y(t)=y_0+e^{-d.t}+g.t.
\end{equation}
\item Differential equation with the general form of:
\begin{equation}
\frac{dy}{dt}=y_0+e^{-d.t}+g.t.
\end{equation}
\end{itemize}
In both equations, $y$ is the tracked feature, $t$ is time and $d$ is the model parameter. In this equation, the term exponential term of $e^{-d.t}$ is the random effect and the the term $g.t$ is the fixed effect in the model.

Once the mathematical expression is decided, one should decide about the number and the nature of random effects of the model. For example, here is a list of some popular random effects used in the literature of anti-cancer drug treatment:
\begin{itemize}
\item Drug-indudec decay of tumor
\item Net growth of tumor size
\item Tumor size nadir (the transition between decay and growth)
\item Drug concentration
\end{itemize}

\subsubsection{Response prediction}
As soon as the mixed effect model is trained with the training data, it can be used as a tool for prediction. This prediction generally includes estimation of future state of the tracked feature. The Expectation Maximization (EM) is one of the popular methods for addressing the response prediction problem.

\section{Example researches using the mixed effect model based prediction framework}
\label{sec:examples}

After introducing the mixed effect modeling and its adoption in the longitudinal studies, here we briefly introduce two example researches in this domain.
\subsection{A study on Alzheimer's disease by Opsina et al. \cite{ospina2012mixed}}
In this research, the authors have studied the temporal evolution the ``gray matter'', which is a very important indicator of progress in Alzheimer's disease. Gray matter is the darker tissue of the brain and spinal cord, consisting mainly of nerve cell bodies and branching dendrites \cite{sowell2001mapping}. The volume of this tissue is usually measured and tracked during treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

The main purpose in this study is to model the impact of aging on the cortical gray matter quantification for two groups of subjects: healthy elderly (HE) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. For this purpose, the high-level feature of gray matter volume is represented by low-level voxel-based morphology from MRI, PET and other biological markers. These voxels are then analyzed both in the temporal and spatial domains to build a mixed effect model.

A non-parametric framework is used to model both groups of HD and AD subjects. For each normalized voxel $x$ from each subject $i$, where $i=\{1,...,n\}$, this framework is expressed as:
\begin{equation}
f_i(x,age)=m(x,age)+g(x,age).\Phi_i+e_i(x,age)+\varepsilon_i(x,age),
\end{equation}

where $m$, $g$ and $e_i$ are unknown functions and $\varepsilon_i$ is a random error. Moreover, the flag $\Phi$ is one if the $i$-th subject is an AD and is zero, otherwise. In the above equation, The term $m(x, age)+g (x, age)$ represents the expected density of the gray matter in an AD subject. Therefore, it can be understood that the role of flag $\Phi$ is to consider the gray matter emission in the AD group of subjects, due to their disease. Furthermore, $e_i (x, age)$ is deviation of the $i$-th subject from the voxel mean value corresponding to its group.

The analysis of this paper confirms that an age-dependent gray matter volume decrease usually happens both in HE and AD subjects. It also confirms that this decrease is more significant in the AD subjects than the HE subjects. Among the AD subjects, it was concluded that the rate of reduction in the gray matter become steeper with aging.

\subsection{A study on Prostate cancer by Rios et al. \cite{rios2017population}}
In this research, the side-effects of radiotherapy in the prostate cancer treatment is analyzed using mixed effect modeling. The particular effect that has been studied in this paper is the bladder movement. The ultimate goal is to propose a mixed effect model, in order to enable an accurate and efficient bladder motion estimation under exposure of the cancer treatment drug. In contrast to the previous research example, here all the subjects are patients and the proposed approach tries to effectively model inter- and intra-patient behaviors of the bladder. Hence, the inter-patient features and the intra-patient features are considered as the fixed effects and random effects of the model, respectively.

From a high-level point of view and considering the framework introduced in section \ref{sec:framework}, the proposed model of this paper can be summarized in the following 5 steps.

\subsubsection{Imaging }
The very first step of the proposed process is the computed tomography imaging. In this step, raw data is taken from a diverse set of patient s through the treatment period. As this data naturally contains enormous outlier and noise, the next steps are performed to refine it and extract the most useful information from it.

\subsubsection{Spatial normalization of the input images  }
In this step, raw images taken in step one are processed to clip and extract the region of interest (i.e. the bladder). For this purpose, the three-dimensional space of voxels are processed and shrank to a reduced space of $135\times215\times55$ voxels containing the bladder voxels.

\subsubsection{Surface representation}
Each bladder image extracted from step 2 is a solid volume. Therefore, all voxels in the three-dimensional space which occur inside that volume can be ignored during the process. This is due to the fact that each 3D volume can be perfectly represented only by using its outer surface. To this end, a mehtod called Spherical Harmonic (SPHARM) was adopted. SPHARM takes each image from the previous step in the $135\times215\times55$ space and projects it to a further reduced space of 272 voxels.

\subsubsection{Feature reduction using PCA}
Considering the relatively small size of the dataset and also the fact that increasing it is extremely costly and harmful to the patients, one might further reduce the feature space. This step is necessary, since it is a proven rule in the machine learning that, when the size number of samples are limited, the size of feature space should be small enough to be trainable.

The Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is a well-known method for efficient feature reduction. In this method, a statistical analysis is performed on the data and the target model, in order to detect uncorrelated part of the dataset. The expected output of this process is a reduced space which still contains a reasonably informative part of the data. In the research conducted in this paper, the PCA step reduces the feature space from 272 features to only 40 features. This set of 40 values, is considered as the final feature vector of each sample ans used in the rest of the mixed effect modeling process.

\subsubsection{Mixed effect modeling }
According to the four previous steps, each image taken from patients is represented by a set of 40 features and the goal is to produce 40 independent mixed effect models associated to each feature. Let assume that there are $n$ patients in the dataset and number of $j_i$ ($i=1,...,n$) images have been taken from each patient. Also, let $z$ be the measure of motion/deformation that is aimed to be modeled (i.e. represented by the feature vectors). Therefore, it can be said that $z_{ijk}$ where $i=1,..,n$, $j=1,...,j_i$ and $k=1,...,40$ indicates the $k$-th feature of the $i$-th patient, taken at the $j$-th period of his/her treatment. The mixed effect modeling of this paper can be described as:
\begin{equation}
z_{ijk}=\mu_k+b_{ik}+\varepsilon_{ijk}.
\end{equation}

The $\mu_k$ term in the above equation represents the average of the $k$-th features among all patients in all of their images. The term $b_{ik}$ is a random variable representing deviation of the $i$-th patient from its mean $\mu_k$ and finally, $\varepsilon_{ijk}$ is a random variable representing deviation of the $i$-th variable from its personal mean. The these random variables follow the Gaussian distribution functions:

\begin{equation}
b_{ik} \sim N(0,\sigma_{bk}^2),
\end{equation}
and:

\begin{equation}
\varepsilon_{ijk} \sim N(0,\sigma_{k}^2).
\end{equation}

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conclusion}
In this paper, the use of mixed effect modeling in some of the medical image processing application was reviewed. To do this, first general philosophy behind the mixed effect modeling and its necessity in such applications is explained. Then the general principles and common elements of the different models in the literature was described. For this purpose, three different design elements in the process of mixed effect modeling were detected. These elements and their possible choices are summarized in Table \ref{tab:summary}.
